It seems “Bad Batch” and “The Mandalorian” have both fallen into a pattern of including Easter eggs of the “Star Wars” franchise in several of their episodes.
And the entire episode ends on a cliffhanger that seems like a tease to a “Star Wars” character from a previous show or movie, too.
So the first major reveal in this episode was the Droid Army, seen as the villains in the “Clone Wars” series and the prequel trilogy.
It’s fun to see these droids return, too, because we never really see them outside the prequel trilogy and “Clone Wars.” We never see them pop up in the original trilogy or the sequel trilogy.
The Martez sisters were a major part of the final season for “Clone Wars” because they helped keep Ahsoka Tano safe after she left the Jedi Order.
The sisters said in the “Bad Batch” episode that they wanted the tactical droid head so they could learn how to defeat clones to fight the Empire.
Though their return might feel like a shrugging moment, it could have a major implication for the series moving forward.
At the end of the episode, we see a brief scene where the Martez sisters are talking to an unknown man who is appearing through a Holocron.
Seeing the Martez sisters return the week after we see Bib Fortune from Jabba’s Palace on “Bad Batch” last week made me want to roll my eyes.
